What it is
A flavorful and tangy side dish made from thinly sliced onions, sautéed until tender and naturally sweet, then folded into thick, strained yogurt (chaka) and seasoned with garlic and mint.
Key ingredients
Onions, thick strained yogurt (chaka/labneh style), garlic, mint, salt, cooking oil.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ensure no added sugar is used to 'caramelize' the onions. Confirm no bread or other high-carb accompaniments are served.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in yogurt or during onion cooking. Onion carb content (can be moderately high if a very large portion).
